Construction and installation work on a second reactor at Bushehr have begun. Russia's Rosatom subsidiary AtomStroyExport (ASE), the general contractor for the Bushehr project, and Iran's Nuclear Power Production and Development Company (NPPD) signed a contract in November 2014 to build two VVER-1000 reactors with Generation III technology. Rosatom reactor design subsidiary Atomproek is also involved in this project, known as "Bushehr II." The first reactor is expected to be completed in 2024.
